Prince Harry has signalled an end to his royal rift with King Charles and Prince William following the duke’s latest move, a royal commentator has claimed.
Royal biographer Hugo Vickers has suggested that the Duke of Sussex learned his lesson from criticising his family in his memoir Spare and that people in situations like his “always regret it”.
Vickers suggested Harry “would do well to think of the future and try and build bridges rather than burn any more”.
He added: “I think it’s quite good that he isn’t saying things.”

The Duke of Sussex chose not to promote the paperback version of Spare, remaining silent while the memoir sold just 3,400 copies in its second week of publication.
Vickers continued to tell The Sun: “Maybe he’s kind of got it off his chest…maybe he has nothing really much more to say because he hasn’t had much to do with his family since.
“He came over for the Coronation. He came over to see his father when he was ill. He’s been in England a few times with things like the Invictus Games and one or two other things.
“But he hasn’t had any relations with the Royal Family. He hasn’t been to see them.

“He hasn’t seen his brother, as far as he hasn’t talked to his brother. What else is he going to say?”
Prince Harry is not thought to be on speaking terms with his brother, Prince William, or his father, King Charles, since he stepped back from royal duties and moved to California in January 2020.
The Sussexes have publicly criticised members of the Royal Family, signing multimillion-pound contracts with Spotify and Netflix to speak about the institution.
Vickers added: “I don’t think that some guy in the middle states of America appreciates a man who slags his father and family off in a book. They just don’t do that sort of thing.

“I think the King has behaved in an exemplary way. He hasn’t told us anything. He hasn’t responded at all.
“By saying nothing, he makes it much easier for Prince Harry to reconcile.
“I said it many times before, people can always reconcile if there is a willingness to compromise – that has to be on both sides.”
The paperback re-release was published last month by Penguin Random House and does not include any additional information.
